Esquire India has arrived with Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan on its cover. The actor, often hailed as Indian cinema’s "Greek God," graces the cover of the magazine’s inaugural edition, embodying Esquire’s philosophy of celebrating “the man at his best.”

Hrithik Roshan, whose journey in Indian cinema began 25 years ago with Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, has seamlessly lived up to the many titles bestowed upon him—box-office magnet, style icon, and acting powerhouse. With a career defined by versatility, discipline, and an ever-evolving persona, Roshan makes a fitting choice for Esquire India's first-ever cover.

The magazine, brought to India by RPSG Lifestyle Media, joins the ranks of the globally renowned Esquire brand, known for its sharp commentary on style, culture, and success. Under the leadership of Chairperson Avarna Jain and COO Jamal Shaikh, Esquire India aims to carve a unique space in the Indian media landscape.

Shot by Tarun Vishwa, Hrithik Roshan’s cover look blends contemporary sophistication with timeless elegance. Styled in a long silk coat and trousers by The Inventory by Suket Dhir, a Rajesh Pratap Singh shirt, a Hermès neckpiece, and a Rado watch, Roshan embodies understated luxury.

The magazine’s editorial vision is helmed by Editor Rahul Gangwani, with fashion and creative direction by Vijendra Bhardwaj. The meticulous production involved contributions from Imran Khatri Productions and Collective Artists Network, further elevating the project’s execution.

With India’s luxury and lifestyle media segment witnessing a steady rise, Esquire India's entry marks an important moment. The brand is expected to cater to a discerning audience that appreciates global aesthetics while staying rooted in Indian sensibilities.

As Hrithik Roshan sets the stage for Esquire India’s journey, all eyes are now on how the publication shapes conversations around men’s style, culture, and success in its forthcoming editions.
